The female and immature birds are more greenish than male, especially on the 
crown, back and tail. . 
An immature (but not very young) specimen shows faint dusky bars on the upper 
breast and cheeks, and also on the'sides of the broad white collar which is tinged 
with buff; a loral spot also buffy white and spotted with blackish green; buffy 
white feathers on base of forehead. 
Some points of individua] variation were noticed. The white feathers at base 
of forehead are almost obsolete in two specimens ( 令 ad. and ゃ ad.), but in others 
(@ad.,? Qad.,and imm.) they are very distinct. The dull bluish green patch on the 
sides of upper breast is obsolete in three specimens including an immature one, but 
is distinct in two other specimens as in H. sordidus Gould. 
Probaiiy the form above described represents that which was assumed the young 
of H. saurophagus by Sharpe (Cat. B. Brit. Mus. Vol. XVIL., p. 249). His words are as 
follows: 
“In the Hamburg Museum is a specimen from Pelew Islands, which is apparently 
the young ot H. saurophagus, and is exactly like HW. chloris, but has the wing 4. 7 
inches, and a large amount of white on the lores and base of forehead. I consider 
this to be the young of the present species with some hesitation, as it completely 
lacks the pale edleines to the wing-cverts which are characteristic of the immature 
individuals of these green Kingfishers.”
